Every cruise line is still short staffed, you will find service issues on all of them. There is no greener grass. Also, everyone, including land based bars and restaurants, are having supply chain problems so there will be items they just can't get. I've been on 8 cruises in 16 months on different lines and these situations are universal. Just go with the flow and make the best of it. Bottom line, ship happens. π
We were on royal recently and dinner service was extremely slow. I hope this is not the new normal for cruising.
The Getaway is one of our favorite ships.
